new Dish Tri-plexor

[digidss]

I just Installed a new vip222k receiver and found a new device packed in the box. Its is called a Tri-plexor. This device has the band separator and a diplexor all built in 1 package. Also attached to the tri-plexor were 3 premade RG-6 cables, about 8 inch long. Good job Dish!!!! about time...

Here you go:

The DPP Triplexer (P/N 175284) combines a DISH Pro Plus Separator and a UHF/VHF diplexer into one device that connects to the receiver to support single cable installation of DISH Pro Plus satellite feeds and TV1/TV2 Home Distribution

Very nice, looks like it eliminates one diplexer in the chain when using home distribution.

So two satellites and an antenna can be sent over just ONE cable? Cool! Thats two INS and one OUT.

Could this be used to combine the TV2 output + RF antenna input for the remotes, along with an OTA antenna input?

What I want to know is, "How much?"

it comes standard with 222k now. all it does is eliminate the need for the diplexer at the back of the receiver.
it is simply a diplexer combined with the seperator.

I love em.. they work great, I think the cables are too long but ohh well, This helps speed up installs for sure and I can't wait for them to be in all the other dual tuner boxes!

Now if only they would put an "Antenna In" port on the DPP44!

. . . Could this be used to combine the TV2 output + RF antenna input for the remotes, along with an OTA antenna input?

This is a note on the Extending the UHF Antenna areas in the Tech Portal: Note: If an over-the-air antenna is installed, the remote control signal cannot be combined onto the same cable as the over-the-air signal.
I had to use a separate old RG59 line that I left when I installed new RG6 cable.
